| Title | Ideas for Teaching Clothing, Part 3 |
| Body | The last two weeks’ InterComs included ideas for teaching clothing from several Improving Early Language Programs listserv subscribers. Here is one more idea: --- My fifth graders are on an imaginary trip to Mexico. I introduced a list of clothing that they might want to take with them on the trip. Then, I gave each child a paper suitcase (red construction paper, folded in half, then cut into the shape of a suitcase). Each child was also given a sheet of paper with clip-art pictures of all the clothing on the list, and was told to choose eight pieces of clothing to pack in the suitcase. They cut out each of the pieces of clothing they had chosen, colored them (I intentionally limited them to only red, blue, yellow, or green), and pasted the pictures in their suitcases. Then they made a list of the items they had packed. After we had arrived at the imaginary airport, we realized that nobody had put an ID tag on their suitcases, and all of them were mixed up! Good thing they had made those packing lists! The students had to walk around the class and try to find out who had their suitcases by using their packing lists to ask questions ("¿Hay una falda roja en tu maleta? Hay unos zapatos azules en tu maleta?) The other student could look into the suitcase he or she was carrying in order to answer "sí" or "no", but the students weren't allowed to look inside each other's suitcases until they checked in with me and told me who they had thought had their suitcase (I had created a master list beforehand of exactly who had each person's suitcase).
